I bet the dudes in Vichy France moved pretty quick for a few years.

I don't know what that means, but poor people's tears are delicious.

I've always called it a one-way mirror, not two-way. But apparently it depends on which side is bright, and which is dark.

I've always thought it more accurate to call it a one way window, as common mirrors are one way as well.

On the one hand it's vague, but on the other hand, some people are assholes.
Created in February, less than 50 people’s names have been added to the list.

The good news is that the list cannot be used to prevent passengers from boarding a flight. It also cannot impel extra screening at security checkpoints, according to the document

In addition, guidelines in the directive prohibit profiling and inclusion in the list based on race, gender, or religion.

“It's simply an awareness that somebody is going through the checkpoint that has demonstrated concerning, assaultive behavior in the past to our officers,” LaJoye said at a House hearing of the homeland security subcommittee last week.

I've got no problem with people being put on a list for acting like assholes, but it shouldn't be a secret.

People should be encouraged to question a process, not discouraged.

First and foremost, all law enforcement. If the TSA thinks you're a risk, why hide that info from Greyhound?

Secondly, from citizens. Granted, there can be some benefit to having a list of folks kept from the public, but I'd want to know if I was on a list just because I was irritated some morning by a random pat down.

Strangers in trouble for hooking up on a plane.

They meet on the plane and she was caught giving him head.

He shouldn't get a ticket. Just a high five.

That is a fair and reasonable request.

Dude attacks everyone in the TSA at a check point. Watch the different agents react. Some are scared, some are brave, some are clueless, etc.
